Laboratory for Zero-Carbon Energy Launch Symposium

Achieving Carbon-Neutral Society with Zero-Carbon Energy Sources

RSS

Event Overview

The Laboratory for Zero-Carbon Energy was established on June 1, 2021, reorganized from the former Laboratory for Advanced Nuclear Energy, Institute of Innovative Research. The lab’s missions are promoting industry-government-academia cooperation and collaborations with local communities as well as with international research institutes; identifying issues in developing sustainable energy systems; and pushing research and development to help solve such issues. It is our pleasure to invite you to a launch symposium as an opportunity to celebrate the launch together and to share the challenges in bringing about future energy society and achieving our missions in solving those challenges. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to seeing you at the symposium.
